Purpose-Driven Law Firm Led By Singapore’s Most-Reviewed Lawyer. 858+ Five-Star Reviews. 20+ Years Court Experience.

Q: How much will my case cost, and how does your firm charge for legal services?

After the free 10-minute call, we send you a written quote with fixed fees broken down by stage. The quote covers our work; Court filing fees and other disbursements are separate and itemised. You’ll have the full quote within one or two working days, so you can decide before committing.

Q: What actually happens in the free 10-minute call, and do I have to commit?

Nothing to commit to. The free 10-minute case assessment is a confidential conversation to understand your situation and tell you honestly how we can help. No obligation, no pressure.

Q: How long does a typical legal matter take to resolve?

It depends on the type of case. Uncontested Divorces typically resolve in 3 to 5 months. Contested Divorces can take 12 to 24 months. Criminal matters vary widely. Some resolve in weeks, others run a year or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeline on the first call and update you weekly during active matters.

Q: Is the information I share with the firm confidential?

Absolutely. Professional integrity and client confidentiality are the foundations of our practice. Anything you discuss with our lawyers in Singapore, even the free 10-minute case assessment, is strictly protected and kept private.

When the stakes are high, direct access to the Principal Lawyer handling your case makes all the difference. Fixed fees, clear strategy, straight answers.

Why Clients Choose Us

What You Can Expect From Our Singapore Law Firm

A Divorce affects your CPF and the matrimonial home. A Criminal charge affects your job, your visa, and your record. Our lawyers in Singapore weigh the commercial and personal consequences of every decision, not just the legal rule.

Clear Pricing With No Hidden Fees

We agree a fixed fee in writing before we start. No hourly billing, and no surprise invoices at the end of the month. If the scope of your case changes, we talk it through and agree the cost with you first, never after the work is done.

Built for Action, Not Paperwork

We’ve cut the slow correspondence and rigid procedures that older firms still rely on. You hear from us on WhatsApp the same day, and decisions move quickly because the lawyer making them is the one running your case.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable advice and support your firm has provided regarding my case. Your expertise and attention to detail have made a significant difference in my understanding of the complexities involved. I truly appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to addressing my concerns, and I feel much more confident moving forward thanks to your guidance. Thank you for being such a reliable partner during this challenging time.
James Goh BengTengGoogle Review

Was just surfing for free legal advice and out pops a message from Tembusu Law LLC. Got an immediate whats app text from Jonathan, which was very impressive. I didn’t expect someone to contact me in such a short time for free advice. Jonathan asked a few questions about my case and I feedback to him whatever was relevant. After a few days, Jonathan gave me a legal firm contact that is suitable to handle my case. In fact, he said to just wait for the legal firm to call me. He mentioned short consultation should be free and fees will only apply once the lawyer thinks I have a good case to put up.
Sam NgGoogle Review

Fantastic service and an organization with a big heart. A big shout out to Jonathan who helped me so much in emotional support as well as good useful advise. Jonathan went out of his way to check-in with me and cared for our family. Highly recommended!

Had a free consultation on Divorce matter and child matters with Jonathan and thank you for his precious time. Came direct to the point and provided some useful suggestions for my necessary action. Highly recommended to approach his service if needed to as i am sure he will be able to tap on his expertise for any family law matters.
Alan LamGoogle Review

Jonathan was prompt in his reply, requested as much info as possible for his review so that he could offer appropriate advice. His approach was transparent and he was not pushy at all. He gave me the option to think it over before I actually decide whether to engage his service. Thank you very much, Jonathan, for being so understanding.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my case cost, and how does your firm charge for legal services?

What actually happens in the free 10-minute call, and do I have to commit?

How does the process work once I engage your firm?

It’s straightforward. After the free 10-minute call, we start with a case review to gather your documents and background, then a legal assessment of the facts and evidence. From there our lawyers in Singapore build a clear strategy aligned with your goals, handle the negotiation, mediation, or Court representation, and manage every filing and deadline. We keep you updated throughout your legal matter.

Will my case be handled by experienced lawyers in Singapore?

Yes. Jonathan Wong is the principal lawyer at Tembusu Law and runs every matter personally. You work directly with him from the first call through to the final order. Our paralegal team supports the work, but Jonathan leads the strategy and attends the hearings. If you’re weighing how to choose the right law firm in Singapore, look for that direct access to a senior lawyer, fee transparency, and a team you can actually reach.
